Option B, Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, And Finding Joy – Sanberg, Grant

Description

Option B: Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant is a profoundly moving and practical book that explores how we recover, rebuild, and rediscover meaning after life-altering setbacks. Rooted in personal tragedy—following the sudden death of Sandberg’s husband—it becomes a deeply human guide for anyone facing grief, trauma, or major loss. With Grant’s expertise as a psychologist and Sandberg’s raw honesty, the book offers both emotional insight and scientific strategies for resilience.

Blending memoir with psychological research, Option B moves beyond Sandberg’s personal journey to share stories of people from all walks of life who have survived immense challenges, including violence, illness, job loss, and natural disasters. It demonstrates that resilience is not a trait but a skill that can be nurtured, whether in individuals, families, workplaces, or communities. This book is not part of a series, but its universal relevance has made it a bestseller and a touchstone for those navigating adversity.

Option B is an essential read for anyone looking to better understand grief, support others through hardship, and find strength and joy even when life doesn’t go as planned.
